Specifications
-    Body: mahogany
-    Neck: made of maple and rosewood on both sides respectively if I'm not wrong.
-   SUPER DUPER BASSY TO SUPER PIERCING TREBLY TONES with this guitar.
 From one extreme, it produces good humbucker-sound, and on the other end of extreme, produces good single coil sound! With the neck pickup turned on, you get super duper bassy on gear.....you could belt out jazz and heavy metal, and blow everyone's butt off their chairs !!! Switch to the bridge pickup and voila, you get crazy piercing trebly tones, and you could funk like no one's business, marvellous....even with clean tones and without any effects, mind you!
-    Made by Guitar Institute of Malaysia (GIM) in 2001.
-   EXTREMELY LOW ACTION without buzzing of course!
-    Fretboard markers are made of mother-of-pearls
-    Hard case is made in Canada under the brand Godin
-    2 humbucker pickups; one at neck position, one at bridge position.
-    3-way pickup selector
     either neck pickup/bridge pickup or neck pickup combined with bridge pickup

 "Why should I be bothered about this guitar?!," you fellow southpaws out there may ask.

-   left handed guitars (doesn't matter whether it's acoustic or electric !!!) are extinct if not rare in our local music stores as you   all know

-   I specifically, specified to GIM that I wanted an electric guitar that I could strung low, and yet still play comfortably at the same time - as opposed to the type of 'fatty' necks and fingerboards which you would normally encounter in our local music stores...if they carry one in the first place that is !!!
     Hence, this guitar has thinner, slimmer neck and fingerboard - unlike most of the left handed guitars (if you could find) in local music stores, which would have much broader, thicker necks and fingerboard due to the instrument being catered for people with large hands. This guitar would fit those with average to small sized hands.

-   you have to pay 50% or 100% deposit (the latter means you're purchasing !!) before a guitar store would even consider bringing in the guitar you ordered. heck, you don't even get to try out the guitar...and not know what you're paying for, in the first place !!!
  ...in this case, for those within KL and PJ, Malaysia...you can come and try out the guitar first....no strings attached!!!  If you don't feel like owning it at the end of the day....so be it, fine by me! Just so long as you get to try and know what's really worth of this guitar!
-   custom made electric guitars by GIM now starts from the base price (that is, for just a plain normal guitar with additional costs if you want to add your own desired pickups or specify some add-ons/features to the guitar)...
 currently, the base price for a 'plain jane' normal guitar with GIM: RM 3K !!! ....i recently called them, wanting to order another one....that's how I got this info...straight from the luthier himself (mind you, I didn't idenfity myself...he doesn't know to whom he was speaking to)
 


 How this beauty fares compared to the lefty axes out there locally?
I had the opportunity to try an Epiphone Les Paul Standard, and ESP M-50 recently:

-    Epiphone Les Paul Standard
neck's too wide...so you can't strung it too low with this one, where as for my guitar, you can strung it to your knees.....which is what i always do...cos' the action's crazy low and neck super thin and so far from being 'wide'! heck, you can even grip your guitar freboard wth your fingers touching your thumb while fretting the chords!

-    ESP M-50
super fat neck, so forget about gripping your chords with your fretting fingers kissing your thumb while playing! not with my guitar as detailed above.....
superb wide neck.....much to the contrary in the case of my guitar as detailed also, above
my guitar's low action beats this hands-down.....okay, i'm not exaggerating here....come try it out to see the 'truth out there'

 

 

The secret weapon of this axe...the tones to die for !!!
-    when you switch to the neck pickup...this beauty's tone is so fat and heavy (perfect fo jazz and metal) that you might wanna roll out a lot (i mean it) on the bass, and mid EQ on your amp when you're playing.....

-    i got to try this beauty on a ROLAND JC-120 jazz chorus amp about 1 year ago.....with 2 other friends
3 of us plugged together into that very same amp and jammed together to a jazz standard and they were like 'hey, stop for a while, this amp's like gonna burst, there's too much bass here'....so we stopped, and played one after another, and turns out that crushing tone comes from my axe, and i was like 'what....i din' know this is such a powerful beast!'
and subsequently, we turned off the bass by half what it originally was at, on the amp's EQ......
man, i could feel the amp's shaking on its speakers' surface as I play it, with the amp behind me while practicing.....spooky, but in a good way....lol

 

 

anyways...
-    price revised cos' i feel the guitar's worth much more, compared to the left handed guitars I got to try in our local music stores in terms of feel and sound 
-    I am reluctant to let this beauty off and would not do so if not cos' of my desire to shop for another guitar so...
for the guitar alone - RM 1.6K
i'll throw in the case for RM 1.8 K
and mind you....I'm suffering crazy loss here; guitar and hardcase bought at RM 2500 and RM400.
-   Bidding, however starts from RM 1,400 for the guitar !!!
My further loss, your gain.
 



disclaimer
 -    Prior to this, I did not state this axe as detailed...cos' I would like for the potential new owners to try out this really good axe here and to know what a good deal they may get themselves into...without being burdened by all the specs and details here.
-    For fellow southpaws who've tried the left handed axes out there, in music stores, are most welcomed to try out this one...to experience the superior playability and feel of this axe... before you fork out or part with your hard earned money...
-     i'm not tryin' to rip anyone off here....
yall could go check with GIM (where this guitar's bought) and for the price listing of Godin hardcase....to see the price of these, new....should anyone wish to verify the appropriateness of this pricing that I'm specifying here

 

Thanks for noting, people!
